Climate Neutral by 2030

UB's Climate Action Plan

UB is the size of a small city, with hundreds of buildings and
miles of road. We use electricity, fuel and countless other
resources to keep our campuses running. Thousands of students,
faculty and staff travel here every day.

Our environmental footprint is significant.

But crucially, as an early signatory of the American College and
University Presidents' Climate Commitment, UB and locally
based Ecology and Environment has developed a comprehensive
strategic plan to minimize our adverse impact on the
environment.

Our Climate Action Plan calls for UB to become climate neutral
by 2030.

To achieve this goal, we brought together leaders from across UB
to form the Environmental Stewardship Committee, a group of
administrators, faculty and students charting UB's path towards
climate neutrality and sustainability.

The committee is heading efforts to implement efficiencies
throughout UB's operations and leading the conversation on how the
university can weave sustainability into research, teaching and
public service activities.
